    This OP concatenates the input along the axis.

    Args:
        x(list|tuple): ``x`` is a Tensor list or Tensor tuple which is with data type bool, float16, 
            float32, float64, int32, int64. All the Tensors in ``x`` must have same data type.
        axis(int|Tensor, optional): Specify the axis to operate on the input Tensors.
            It's a scalar with data type int or a Tensor with shape [1] and data type int32 
            or int64. The effective range is [-R, R), where R is Rank(x). When ``axis < 0``,
            it works the same way as ``axis+R``. Default is 0.
        name (str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no
            need for user to set this property. For more information, please
            refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.
    Raises:
        TypeError: ``x`` must be list or tuple.
        TypeError: The data type of ``x`` must be one of bool, float16, float32, float64, int32 and int64. 
        TypeError: The ``axis`` must be int or Tensor. The dtype of ``axis`` must be int32 or int64 when it's a Tensor.

    This operator changes the shape of ``x`` without changing its data.

    Some tricks exist when specifying the target shape.

    1. -1 means the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element
    number of x and remaining dimensions. Thus one and only one dimension can
    be set -1.

    2. 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the
    corresponding dimension of x. The index of 0s in shape can not exceed
    the dimension of x.

    Here are some examples to explain it.

    1. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [6, 8], the reshape operator will transform x into a 2-D tensor with
    shape [6, 8] and leaving x's data unchanged.

    2. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    specified is [2, 3, -1, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a
    4-D tensor with shape [2, 3, 4, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this
    case, one dimension of the target shape is set to -1, the value of this
    dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining
    dimensions.

    3. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape
    is [-1, 0, 3, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor
    with shape [2, 4, 3, 2] and leaving x's data unchanged. In this case,
    besides -1, 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from
    the corresponding dimension of x.

    Args:
        x(Tensor): An N-D Tensor. The data type is ``float32``, ``float64``, ``int32`` or ``int64``.
        shape(list|tuple|Tensor): Define the target shape. At most one dimension of the target shape can be -1.
                        The data type is ``int32`` . If ``shape`` is a list or tuple, the elements of it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1].
                        If ``shape`` is an Tensor, it should be an 1-D Tensor .
        name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property.
                            For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    Returns:
        Tensor: A reshaped Tensor with the same data type as ``x``.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If more than one elements of ``shape`` is -1.
        ValueError: If the element of ``shape`` is 0, the corresponding dimension should be less than or equal to the dimension of ``x``.

    Args:
        x (Tensor): The input Tensor which it's data type should be bool, float32, float64, int32, int64.
        index (Tensor): The index input with rank > 1, index.shape[-1] <= input.rank.
                        Its dtype should be int32, int64.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None.  Normally there is no need for user to set this property.
                        For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .

    Returns:
        output (Tensor): A tensor with the shape index.shape[:-1] + input.shape[index.shape[-1]:]
    
    Raises:
        TypeError: ``x`` must be a Tensor and the data type of ``x`` must be one of float32, float64, int32 and int64.
        TypeError: ``index`` must be a Tensor and the data type of ``index`` must be one of int32 and int64.
